Mario and Luigi: Superstar Simulator

The item shop is a feature I've been wanting to make since the beginning because replayability is very important with games. Read the article for details and upcoming items


The shop will have multiple menus. One for items everyone can use and unique menus for characters that will have exclusive items. The three items shown in the pictures are not even the majority of ideas I have. The regular mushroom will heal 5 hp (keep in mind everyone has 30 hp except for Peppino), the super mushroom will heal 10, and the newly planned ultra mushroom, which will be golden, will heal 20. If your hp is high enough, your max hp will be increased to up to 50. Of course it'll be expensive with how useful it is.

Peppino doesn't need any other solo attacks since his grab has four variations, so instead his other two attacks will be guns with their respective bullets that can be bought. The purpose of these is to deal quicker damage to an enemy instead of one each turn. The pistol has up to three rounds so you can deal up to three damage. The planned shotgun will have two rounds with each hit being 2 damage.

With how many items I plan to add, you'll need to keep track of what you have. In the top left corner of the character select screen will be a backpack. Pressing the i key will bring you to the inventory menu where you can view your items and how many you have. Cya next time!

Fun fact: Peppino is the second character to be added to the game next to Mario. I had so many ideas that I had to add him as quickly as possible. Little did I know that he would be one of the best characters to play as

I haven't posted much because all of the work I'm doing is just optimizing. Any talk I'd do about it wouldn't be too interesting. I do have a little something though. Here's a work in progress of Knuckles' last attack

Luigi's Mansion

I fiiiinally added the KO stars. I wanted to do it like how Superstar Saga does it, but I settled for how the 3ds titles do it

Is there any random footage you'd like to see before the update's release? Like a battle, bounty mission, or minigame? Let me know so I can show some content for you without any long stretches of silence on my part

Wasn't really motivated today. Just have this Mr.Virtual doodle.

I added 2 more extra backgrounds to the battle customization for fun. First is a playable version of the cliff seen in both the title cutscenes and the Paperverse/F3 2024 trailer. I also conjured up a Shovel Knight background
